Lindsay
Yoga teacher
Lindsay was born and raised on Orange County, CA. After graduating from college up in the San Francisco Bay Area, she settled in Los Angeles and began a 10 year career in the Entertainment Industry. It was during that fast paced period in her life, she met her future husband. Together they have lived in Santa Clarita for 12 years where they share two children and one cat.
Yoga Journey
Lindsay’s yoga journey began 20 year ago, when she decided to try out a class in college. One of her roommates suggested it to help her manage the stress of finals and college life. She left that class feeling both energized and peaceful, and began to understand the connections between mind, body and breath. Since that class, she has found herself returning to the mat, especially during life’s most stressful periods. Lindsay has learned over the years that yoga is such an expansive practice, more like a lifestyle, that goes far beyond the asanas that we typically associate with yoga. She enjoys exploring all of the different branches of the yoga practice, including pranayama and meditation. She believes there is always something new to learn in yoga, which is one of the reasons she loves the practice so much.
“Yoga is not about touching your toes. It is what you learn on the way down.”
– Dr. Jigar Gor
Background & Experience
Lindsay has been practicing yoga intermittently for 20 years, but really began practicing consistently in 2020.

Lindsay has benefitted and transformed so much through her own practice and loves sharing the joys of yoga with others. Lindsay enjoys teaching Hatha and Vinyasa style yoga classes and incorporating dynamic movements, pranayama and meditation into her practices.
